Over all my burdens and through all my fears Jesus carries meThrough all my trials and through all my tears Jesus carries meOne night a man had a dreamAnd he dreamed he was walking with the LordA crossed the sky flashed scenes from his lifeFor each scene he noted two sets of footprints in the sandOne belonged to him the other to the LordWhen the last scene of his life flashed before himHe looked back at the footprints in the sandAnd noticed that many times along the path of his lifeThere was only one set of footprintsHe also noticed that this seemed to happenAt the very lowest and sadist times in his lifeThis really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about itLord you said that once I decided to follow youYou would walk with me all the way but I have noticed That in the most troublesome times in my lifeThere are only one set of foot printsI don't understand why when I needed you the mostYou would leave meThe Lord replied "Oh my precious precious child I love you And I would never leave you during your times of trial and sufferingWhen you see only one set of foot prints I did not leave you It was then that I carried youOver all my burdens and through all my fears Jesus carries meThrough all my trials and through all my fears Jesus carries me Oh he carries me across the burning sand over water deep and wideHe gently takes me by the hand and carries me to the other sideOh my Jesus carries me
